Hello, all…

Several of you guys have come in and expressed disappointment that we’re not getting the Marvel lenticular covers for November… I’m disappointed as well. I wish the numbers added up to be something we could stock and sell, but Marvel made the qualifying thresholds way too high. We’re sitting on piles of unsold Marvel product from October, and we had to make the call to cut and run.
If you’re interested in reading about the particulars of this whole deal a little more deeply, I’ll direct you to Brian Hibbs-- one of the most vocal comic store owners online, and very good at explaining the ins and outs of this weird business. Here’s a column he did back in August about these covers:

LAST CALL! Here they are, subscribers: the books set to debut in a couple weeks, for which our orders lock Monday night. If you could tell us before that what you’d like to add, that’d help us order the correct amount and ensure everyone that wants copies can get them.

TOMB RAIDER: SURVIVOR’S CRUSADE (Dark Horse) Video game tie-in! Tell us if you want this, orders will be very tight!

HAWKMANF.jpg
HAWKMAN FOUND (DC) A METAL tie-in! Hawkman is making his long overdue return to being one of DC’s toughest buttkickers. By Jeff Lemire and Bryan Hitch! This one shot’ll be good.

powerpuff.jpg
POWERPUFF GIRLS: THE BUREAU OF BAD (IDW) I’m not sure where this lands in the echelon of beloved cartoons, but my kids and I loooooved it back in the day. Does anyone care now? Sound off!

giantkillers.jpg
GIANTKILLERS (IDW) With Bart Sears at the helm, you at least know everyone’s gonna be beefy. This guy was the King of Beefy in the 90s!

voidtrip.jpg
VOID TRIP (Image) New series about the last two humans in the galaxy, lookin’ for good times and psychedelic adventures.

SilverSable.jpg
SILVER SABLE: WILD PACK (Marvel) This is a one-shot catching you up on what this lady’s been up to since you last saw her.

Thanos.jpg
THANOS (Marvel) This is NOT a #1 (it’s a #13), but it’s the debut of incoming hot team DONNY CATES & GEOFF SHAW. I love everything they’ve done together-- God Country, Buzzkill, The Paybacks-- and I think it’s worth your time to check this out. Look at that cover!

DrRadar.jpg
DOCTOR RADAR (Titan) This looks cool. A murder mystery set in the 20s pitting a gentleman detective against a criminal mastermind. Sold!
